50 - 100 grams
What is the Carbohydrate recommendation for aerobic endurance athletes who train for 90 minutes or more on most days?
Ch 7, pg 114
7 - 10 g/kg of bodyweight per day
Ex. MALE 165lbs
165 / 2.2 = 75kg
75 x 7 = 525g
75 x 10 = 750g
*a 165lb male would need between 525 - 750 grams of carbohydrate per day
What is the carbohydrate recommendation for a strength or power athlete?
Ch 7, pg 114
5 - 6 g/kg of body weight
Ex. Female Sprinter 130lbs
130/2.2 = 59kg
59 x 5 = 295g
59 x 6 = 354g
* at 130lbs, she would need between 295 - 354 grams of carbs per day
BMI is a measure of body mass related to stature. The formula used to calculate BMI is
BW (kg) / Height squared (m2) = BMI
Ex. Male - 65in , 203lbs
65in x .0254 = 1.651m; m2 = 1.651 x 1.651 = 2.73
203lbs / 2.2 = 92.2kg
92.2 / 2.73 = 33.7
